The END of expectation tor Dakota IN
the present congress has been reached.
All through ths term few Of its mis-
taken friends have been delnded with
the hope that an auspicious moment
would arrive and the peerless territory
would move in magnificent array over
all opposition and finally stand forth re-.

family OF the union. This suspicious
moment came last Wednesday in the
house. 1t was just thirty seconds long

HAwTHORNE'S BOYHOOD.
4 Constitutional Love for Isolation and
Some of Its Effects.

Il Constitutional Love for Isolation and
Some of Its Effects.
An old lady who used to visit the home at
Salem in which Nathaniel Hawthorne was
brought up-it was his maternal grand
mother some "reminiscences
which show that he must have been an in
tensely disagreeable boy. He went daily
to the roof of the house to read aloud and to
declaim. On the last day of her visit the
stranger heard him call her; she went to
the skylight opening on the root, and, look
ing out, saw him with his back braced
a.llinst the chimney, book in hand. He
called the little girl to come; but she told
him she was afraid, for the roof was sloping.
he called back, "Just line girls!" This was
a fair sample, apparently, of the politeness
and chivalry of the budding genius. When
he had grown young man he refused to sit
down at any meal at which his Uncle Robert
was present; this uncle was his guardian,
and Nathaniel was dissatisfied with the ar
rangement that had been made for his col
jegiate course The uncle was a generous
and noble-hearted brother to Mrs. Haw-
thorne, and a kind friend to her fatherless
children. The writer of the "reminiscences
never heard Nathaniel allude to his school
life. or mention any boy companions. He
must have had constitutional love of isola.
tion. and his surroundings evidently favored
the growth of this MISUNDERSTANDING.

THE SUICIDE TRICK IN PARIS.

How Two Clever RascaIs Raised Funds
With Which to Enjoy Themselves.
An exciting scene (the Paris correspondent
of the London Daily Telegraph says was wit
messed by the people who were walking along
thequays in the neighborhood Of the Pont de
rAlma on Monday afternoon. Just as the
crowd was at its thickest a poor man sud-
denly jumped on the parapet of the bridge
and threw himself over into the Seine AS
he was struggling in the water another man
jumped into the river after him and sue
ceeded in bringing him safe to shore. The
spectators of this thrilling incident clustered
round the poor fellow and his gallant pre-
server and asked him why he had taken so
rash step. Want, he replied, had driven
him to suicide. Moved to tears by the af-
fecting narrative, the man to whom this
victim of circumstances over which he
had no control owed his life put his hand
into his pocket and producing all
:. the cash which he had about him pre-
fsented it to the sufferer. Inspired by this
bright example the crowd which had now
mustered in force pressed silver and copper
coins on the poverty-stricken individual who
had sought watery grave. Soon very fair
sum of money was in his possession, and

promises that he would endeavor in future
to take the ups and downs of life more
philosophically, he slowly quilted the spot
in company with the man who had so vail
antly rescued him. Now it so happened
that police inspector had found his way
among the throng and having less conf
dence in human nature than the worthy
holiday makers who had been pouring
francs and half-francs into the pockets of the
would-be suicide, he bethought himself of
keeping an eye on the couple. The pair
walked on until they reached public house
outside the beaten track, and into this place
of refreshment the inspector followed them.
Oddly enough their arrival appeared to be ex-
assemblage of their friends greeted
them with enthusiasm. Drinks were
ordered by the poor man who had
Just been fished out ofthe Seine, and as they
were being discussed he gave the company
graphic account of his adventure; But the
story was very different one from that
which the horror-stricken spectators of the
thrilling incident would have related. In
stead of eliciting EXPLANATIONS of sympathy
and congratulations, it was received with
peals of laughter, in which, strange to say, |
the rescued man and his gallant preserver
joined heartily. The whole thing had been |
got up between them. One man threw him
self into the river to attract the attention of
the crowd; the other followed, and the tale |
of the suicide was trumped up. The accom-
plice gave his money to the friend whom he |
had pulled out in order that the bystanders |
might be induced to contribute freely. The |
'1ittle game" however, was entirely spoiled |
by the police inspector marching the two |
rogues off to the nearest station. There are |
many such impostors in Paris.
